We want to celebrate. International Women's Day and Women's History Month! My goal is to spotlight amazing women changing the course of the world with their actions, thoughts, and hopes for a better and safer future. So today, I'm thrilled to introduce Orazie Cook. She is the Owner of Praline's Backyard Dog Services and Praline’s Backyard Foundation, She is stepping up to help Survivors of Domestic violence, Which is a ‘public health epidemic.' In fact, National statistics show that one in four women in the U.S. will experience domestic violence at some point during their lives. There are so many challenges to supporting survivors of domestic violence, and one of the biggest challenges in safety planning, is lodging! And Orazie, with her amazing program, is advocating and helping.
